Well-described.

One thing to note is that it would be preferable to use `test_grep`
instead of `grep` here. `test_grep` brings in some additional benefits
over plain `grep` like better diagnosis of issues, and it would also
print the file if things didn't match. That makes it way easier e.g. in
our CI to see what the actual output was.
There is no need to reroll this patch series just because of that
though, as your changes are a strict improvement by themselves already.
But if you do end up rerolling it would be nice to incorporate this.

I was wondering whether the following might be nicer:
git show >output &&
grep ONCE output >output.filtered &&
test_line_count = 1 output.filtered
But after seeing this I don't strongly lean into one or another
direction. So please feel free to use either your current or my proposed
style, I'm fine with either.

Nice cleanups while at it.
